They find the city is an ant city. Just as they learn this some thing strange happens te them. CHAPTKK IV Magic Poison OOMETHINU was happening te Jack '-'nnd Janet. What It'vTas they did net knew. They hnd been sitting en the nnt nest nnd hnd been bitten by nnt watchmen, who wcrq trying te drive them nwnv. While they were still smarting from the nnt bites nnd vvere slapping them selves te drive the ants nvvny. n flying nnt hnd suddenly nppeared before them. Ping I the flying nnt stung Jack en the nose. Ping! It stung Janet en the nose. And the stings had n queer effect they seemed te send poison into the bleed of the children. And this poison caused the children te swell up llke blisters. They swelled nnd swelled until pf n sudden they burst, nnd when they hurst they beenme n- tiny ns the nnts themselves. One minute Jnck nnd Janet were regular size, looking down llke giants upon the nnt nest. The next minute they were nnt size, nnd found thnt the nnt nest had come te leek like n great ciij n city lined witti iiurry and bus tic nnd business. Above them they saw Toddle Pupkins and Johnny Hull towering high. The dogs were barking In nlnnn. They were scared because their joke hnd geno wrong. Even ns Jnck nnd Janet looked up nt Toddle Pupkins nnd Johnny Hull, the same flying nnt thnt hnd stung them stung the two dogs. Toddle Pupkins and Johnny Hull swelled up llke bal loons, then they, tee, burst nnd be be eneo ns small as nnts. The same thing happened te the two ponies, Trlxle and Topsy. They wcre stung, swelled up nnd burst, and beenme the size of nnts. Jnck and Janet couldn't understand It nt nil. Neither could the dogs nor the pontes. Hut they seen lenrncd one thing they were prisoners. The winged nnt enme seriVIng down like nn airplane. He nllghted en the ant nest nnd a dozen wingless nnts ran up te de his bidding. The winged nnt didn't sny a word. He Just waved his feelers like n dumb man talks with his hands, nnd even the chil dren could understand what he said. "These are new slaves which I have caught with my magic poison. Take them within nnd give them te the Ant Queen ns n present from me." The wingless nnts gathered around Jack and Janet and the dogs and ponies nnd drove them Inte one of the gates leading within the nnt city. And that ant city wns a" wonderful place. Had Jnck and Janet net been worried by the odd fix In which they found themselves, they would hnvc been delighted with the sights that met thelr eyes. The nnt city instead of being spread out flat llke n human city with the ground bencnth and the sky above wns built In layers like n great layer cake or a high office building. On each layer there were streets with houses nnd storerooms. The reef of each layer wns just the fleer of the layer above It. And the fleer of each lnyer was just the reef of the layer beneath it. In n city built in this wny many thousands could live nnd in the nnt city were thousands nnd thousands of nnt folks. Toddle Pupkins hnd prom prem ised truly when he had said he would show Jack and Janet mere folks than they ever had seen. Only Toddle Pun kins wasn't showing them the way he expected.
